Who Won BU Lunch Madness 2016?
We’re giving away five $30 restaurant gift cards
After a two-week play-off, BU Today readers have crowned the top lunch spot in our first-ever take on March Madness—a Lunch Madness contest.
And the winner is…Sunset Cantina.
Sunset beat out 15 other local, affordable food stops in the bracketed eat-off organized with BU Tweets. We received hundreds of votes every day via Twitter, nearly 10,000 votes in all.
We’ve made it to the finals of 2016 Lunch Madness! Which restaurant will take the title of campus champion?
